OSID - osid.recipe.batch.CookbookBatchAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.recipe.batch.CookbookBatchAdminSession
Implements	`osid.recipe.CookbookAdminSession`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `Academies` in bulk. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. `OsidForms` are requested for each create or update and may not be reused. Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create a `Cookbook,` a `CookbookForm` is requested using `getCookbookFormsForCreate()` specifying the desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. Each of the returned `CookbookForms` will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once a `CookbookForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `CookbookForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. The `CookbookForms` returned from `getCookbookFormsForCreate()` may be linked to the originating request through the peer `Ids` of the `CookbookForm.` In the case where there may be duplicates, any `CookbookForm` of the same peer `Ids` may be used for a create operation. Once a batch of `CookbookForms` are submitted for create, a `CreateResponse` is returned for each `CookbookForm,` although the ordering is not defined. Only errors that pertain to the entire create operation are returned from `createCookbook(),` errors specific to an individual `CookbookForm` are indicated in the corresponding `CreateResponse.` `CreateResponses` may be linked to the originating `CookbookForm` through the `CookbookForm` `Id` . For updates, `CookbookForms` are requested to the `Cookbook` `Id` that is to be updated using `getCookbookFormsForUpdate()` where the reference `Id` in the `CookbookForm` may be used to link the request. Similarly, the `CookbookForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `CookbookForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. Once a batch of `CookbookForms` are submitted for update, an `UpdateResponse` is returned for each `CookbookForm,` although the ordering is not defined. Only errors that pertain to the entire update operation are returned from `updateCookbook(),` errors specific to an individual `CookbookForm` are indicated in the corresponding `UpdateResponse.` `UpdateResponses` may be linked to the originating `CookbookForm` through the `CookbookForm` `Id.` The delete operations delete `Academies` in bulk. Bulk delete operations return the results in `DeleteResponses.`
